I think in this case "an inseam" would be appropriate, rather than "no inseam whatsoever".

I am thinking now of when I was my student's age and I had chambray pants that I wore to work. We had a no-denim jeans rule, but to me they were not jeans because they were not denim and they were kind of flowy. I figured I would wear them and see if someone said anything. No one said anything, but at the end of the year, I didn't get a raise because I broke dress code. I was really mad, and I still think someone should have probably said something, but on the other hand, I can't believe I expected a non-costume/sewing type person to distinguish chambray pants from denim j.

I definitely had to tell an employee that her denim trousers were not OK in a no-jeans office. Now I wonder if they might have been chambray, but I'm pretty sure they were denim.

If you have to fondle the fabric to determine if the pants qualify, they may be too close.

I know that now. Although I am pretty sure that the rule was just "no denim" not no jeans! And they weren't denim! But that is really pedantic.

A vague dress code is no one's friend.

How much Advil can I take in one day?

I'm so sorry, Zen. That sounds awful. I don't know about Advil dosages, though.

How much Advil can I take in one day?

I was prescribed double the dose on the bottle for years. That sounds dreadful, Zen. I'm annoyed by the fact that I can hear my pulse in my ears when my blood count is low, but that's just a minor tell-tale heart sort of annoyance.

My last employer used "professional appearance" to ding the performance ratings of people who were doing a great job but who didn't fit into their narrow Navy code.

I've taken as much as 3 at a time, 8 hours apart, when I was dealing with post surgical pain.

I think double what's on the bottle is standard for OK. But that's not true for Tylenol!
